| Summary | The Inuit Observations on Climate Change project set out to achieve two goals. The first related to public awareness on climate change; the second to the relationship between traditional knowledge and scientific research on climate change. Goal one: to produce a video that will demonstrate to Canadian audiences, interest groups and decision-making forums that climate change is making an impact on the traditional lifestyle and livelihood system of Inuit on Banks Island in the Beaufort Sea. Goal two: to understand the traditional knowledge of Inuit regarding climate change and to explore the contribution that traditional knowledge, local observations and adaptive strategies can make to scientific research on climate change in the Arctic. |
